Genesis 47

KJV

1  Then Joseph3130 came935 and told5046 Pharaoh,6547 and said,559 My father1 and my brethren,251 and their flocks,6629 and their herds,1241 and all3605 that834 they have, are come935 out of the land4480 776 of Canaan;3667 and, behold,2009 they are in the land776 of Goshen.1657

2  And he took3947 some4480 7097 of his brethren,251 even five2568 men,376 and presented3322 them unto6440 Pharaoh.6547

3  And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 his brethren,251 What4100 is your occupation?4639 And they said559 unto413 Pharaoh,6547 Thy servants5650 are shepherds,7462 6629 both1571 we,587 and also1571 our fathers.1

4  They said559 moreover unto413 Pharaoh,6547 For to sojourn1481 in the land776 are we come;935 for3588 834 thy servants5650 have no369 pasture4829 for their flocks;6629 for3588 the famine7458 is sore3515 in the land776 of Canaan:3667 now6258 therefore, we pray thee,4994 let thy servants5650 dwell3427 in the land776 of Goshen.1657

5  And Pharaoh6547 spoke559 unto413 Joseph,3130 saying,559 Thy father1 and thy brethren251 are come935 unto413 thee:

6  The land776 of Egypt4714 is before6440 thee; in the best4315 of the land776 make 853 thy father1 and brethren251 to dwell;3427 in the land776 of Goshen1657 let them dwell:3427 and if518 thou knowest3045 any men376 of activity2428 among them, then make7760 them rulers8269 over my5921 834 cattle.4735

7  And Joseph3130 brought in935 853 Jacob3290 his father,1 and set5975 him before6440 Pharaoh:6547 and Jacob3290 blessed1288 853 Pharaoh.6547

8  And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Jacob,3290 How4100 old3117 8141 2416 art thou?

9  And Jacob3290 said559 unto413 Pharaoh,6547 The days3117 of the years8141 of my pilgrimage4033 are a hundred3967 and thirty7970 years:8141 few4592 and evil7451 have the days3117 of the years8141 of my life2416 been,1961 and have not3808 attained unto5381 853 the days3117 of the years8141 of the life2416 of my fathers1 in the days3117 of their pilgrimage.4033

10  And Jacob3290 blessed1288 853 Pharaoh,6547 and went out3318 from before4480 6440 Pharaoh.6547

11  And Joseph3130 placed3427 853 his father1 and his brethren,251 and gave5414 them a possession272 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 in the best4315 of the land,776 in the land776 of Rameses,7486 as834 Pharaoh6547 had commanded.6680

12  And Joseph3130 nourished3557 853 his father,1 and his brethren,251 and all3605 his father's1 household,1004 with bread,3899 according to6310 their families.2945

13  And there was no369 bread3899 in all3605 the land;776 for3588 the famine7458 was very3966 sore,3515 so that the land776 of Egypt4714 and all the land776 of Canaan3667 fainted3856 by reason of4480 6440 the famine.7458

14  And Joseph3130 gathered up3950 853 all3605 the money3701 that was found4672 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and in the land776 of Canaan,3667 for the corn7668 which834 they1992 bought:7666 and Joseph3130 brought935 853 the money3701 into Pharaoh's6547 house.1004

15  And when money3701 failed8552 in the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 and in the land4480 776 of Canaan,3667 all3605 the Egyptians4714 came935 unto413 Joseph,3130 and said,559 Give3051 us bread:3899 for why4100 should we die4191 in thy presence?5048 for3588 the money3701 faileth.656

16  And Joseph3130 said,559 Give3051 your cattle;4735 and I will give5414 you for your cattle,4735 if518 money3701 fail.656

17  And they brought935 853 their cattle4735 unto413 Joseph:3130 and Joseph3130 gave5414 them bread3899 in exchange for horses,5483 and for the flocks,4735 6629 and for the cattle4735 of the herds,1241 and for the asses:2543 and he fed5095 them with bread3899 for all3605 their cattle4735 for that1931 year.8141

18  When that1931 year8141 was ended,8552 they came935 unto413 him the second8145 year,8141 and said559 unto him, We will not3808 hide3582 it from4480 my lord,113 how that3588 518 our money3701 is spent;8552 my lord113 also hath413 our herds4735 of cattle;929 there is not3808 aught left7604 in the sight6440 of my lord,113 but1115 518 our bodies,1472 and our lands:127

19  Wherefore4100 shall we die4191 before thine eyes,5869 both1571 we587 and1571 our land?127 buy7069 us and our land127 for bread,3899 and we587 and our land127 will be1961 servants5650 unto Pharaoh:6547 and give5414 us seed,2233 that we may live,2421 and not3808 die,4191 that the land127 be not desolate.3456 3808

20  And Joseph3130 bought7069 853 all3605 the land127 of Egypt4714 for Pharaoh;6547 for3588 the Egyptians4714 sold4376 every man376 his field,7704 because3588 the famine7458 prevailed2388 over5921 them: so the land776 became1961 Pharaoh's.6547

21  And as for the people,5971 he removed5674 them to cities5892 from one end4480 7097 of the borders1366 of Egypt4714 even to5704 the other end7097 thereof.

22  Only7535 the land127 of the priests3548 bought7069 he not;3808 for3588 the priests3548 had a portion2706 assigned them of4480 854 Pharaoh,6547 and did eat398 853 their portion2706 which834 Pharaoh6547 gave5414 them: wherefore5921 3651 they sold4376 not3808 853 their lands.127

23  Then Joseph3130 said559 unto413 the people,5971 Behold,2005 I have bought7069 you this day3117 and your land127 for Pharaoh:6547 lo,1887 here is seed2233 for you, and ye shall sow2232 853 the land.127

24  And it shall come to pass1961 in the increase,8393 that ye shall give5414 the fifth2549 part unto Pharaoh,6547 and four702 parts3027 shall be1961 your own, for seed2233 of the field,7704 and for your food,400 and for them834 of your households,1004 and for food398 for your little ones.2945

25  And they said,559 Thou hast saved our lives:2421 let us find4672 grace2580 in the sight5869 of my lord,113 and we will be1961 Pharaoh's6547 servants.5650

26  And Joseph3130 made7760 it a law2706 over5921 the land127 of Egypt4714 unto5704 this2088 day,3117 that Pharaoh6547 should have the fifth2569 part; except7535 the land127 of the priests3548 only,905 which became1961 not3808 Pharaoh's.6547

27  And Israel3478 dwelt3427 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 in the country776 of Goshen;1657 and they had possessions270 therein, and grew,6509 and multiplied7235 exceedingly.3966

28  And Jacob3290 lived2421 in the land776 of Egypt4714 seventeen7651 6240 years:8141 so the whole age3117 8141 2416 of Jacob3290 was1961 a hundred3967 forty705 and seven7651 years.8141

29  And the time3117 drew nigh7126 that Israel3478 must die:4191 and he called7121 his son1121 Joseph,3130 and said559 unto him, If518 now4994 I have found4672 grace2580 in thy sight,5869 put,7760 I pray thee,4994 thy hand3027 under8478 my thigh,3409 and deal6213 kindly2617 and truly571 with5973 me; bury6912 me not,408 I pray thee,4994 in Egypt:4714

30  But I will lie7901 with5973 my fathers,1 and thou shalt carry5375 me out of Egypt,4480 4714 and bury6912 me in their burial place.6900 And he said,559 I595 will do6213 as thou hast said.1697

31  And he said,559 Swear7650 unto me. And he swore7650 unto him. And Israel3478 bowed himself7812 upon5921 the bed's4296 head.7218

1 ἐλθὼν δὲ Ιωσηφ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Φαραω λέγων ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ οἱ βόες αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῶν ἦλθον ἐκ γῆς Χανααν καὶ ἰδού εἰσιν ἐν γῇ Γεσεμ

2 ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ παρέλαβεν πέντε ἄνδρας καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐναντίον Φαραω

3 καὶ εἶπεν Φαραω τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς Ιωσηφ τί τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν οἱ δὲ εἶπαν τῷ Φαραω ποιμένες προβάτων οἱ παῖδές σου καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν

4 εἶπαν δὲ τῷ Φαραω παροικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἥκαμεν οὐ γάρ ἐστιν νομὴ τοῖς κτήνεσιν τῶν παίδων σου ἐνίσχυσεν γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν γῇ Χανααν νῦν οὖν κατοικήσομεν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐν γῇ Γεσεμ

5 εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσφη κατοικείτωσαν ἐν γῇ Γεσεμ εἰ δὲ ἐπίστῃ ὅτι εἰσὶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἄνδρες δυνατοί κατάστησον αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἐμῶν κτηνῶν ἦλθον δὲ εἰς Αἴγυπτον πρὸς Ιωσηφ Ιακωβ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤκουσεν Φαραω βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου καὶ εἶπεν Φαραω πρὸς Ιωσηφ λέγων ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ἥκασι πρὸς σέ

6 ἰδοὺ ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου ἐναντίον σού ἐστιν ἐν τῇ βελτίστῃ γῇ κατοίκισον τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου

7 εἰσήγαγεν δὲ Ιωσηφ Ιακωβ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἐναντίον Φαραω καὶ εὐλόγησεν Ιακωβ τὸν Φαραω

8 εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιακωβ πόσα ἔτη ἡμερῶν τῆς ζωῆς σου

9 καὶ εἶπεν Ιακωβ τῷ Φαραω αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν ἐτῶν τῆς ζωῆς μου ἃς παροικῶ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα ἔτη μικραὶ καὶ πονηραὶ γεγόνασιν αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν ἐτῶν τῆς ζωῆς μου οὐκ ἀφίκοντο εἰς τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν ἐτῶν τῆς ζωῆς τῶν πατέρων μου ἃς ἡμέρας παρῴκησαν

10 καὶ εὐλογήσας Ιακωβ τὸν Φαραω ἐξῆλθεν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ

11 καὶ κατῴκισεν Ιωσηφ τὸν πατέρα καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς κατάσχεσιν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου ἐν τῇ βελτίστῃ γῇ ἐν γῇ Ραμεσση καθὰ προσέταξεν Φαραω

12 καὶ ἐσιτομέτρει Ιωσηφ τῷ πατρὶ καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ παντὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ σῖτον κατὰ σῶμα

13 σῖτος δὲ οὐκ ἦν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ἐνίσχυσεν γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς σφόδρα ἐξέλιπεν δὲ ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἡ γῆ Χανααν ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ

14 συνήγαγεν δὲ Ιωσηφ πᾶν τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐν γῇ Χανααν τοῦ σίτου οὗ ἠγόραζον καὶ ἐσιτομέτρει αὐτοῖς καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν Ιωσηφ πᾶν τὸ ἀργύριον εἰς τὸν οἶκον Φαραω

15 καὶ ἐξέλιπεν πᾶν τὸ ἀργύριον ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐκ γῆς Χανααν ἦλθον δὲ πάντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι πρὸς Ιωσηφ λέγοντες δὸς ἡμῖν ἄρτους καὶ ἵνα τί ἀποθνῄσκομεν ἐναντίον σου ἐκλέλοιπεν γὰρ τὸ ἀργύριον ἡμῶν

16 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ιωσηφ φέρετε τὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν ἄρτους ἀντὶ τῶν κτηνῶν ὑμῶν εἰ ἐκλέλοιπεν τὸ ἀργύριον

17 ἤγαγον δὲ τὰ κτήνη πρὸς Ιωσηφ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Ιωσηφ ἄρτους ἀντὶ τῶν ἵππων καὶ ἀντὶ τῶν προβάτων καὶ ἀντὶ τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἀντὶ τῶν ὄνων καὶ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἄρτοις ἀντὶ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ

18 ἐξῆλθεν δὲ τὸ ἔτος ἐκεῖνο καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ δευτέρῳ καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ μήποτε ἐκτριβῶμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν εἰ γὰρ ἐκλέλοιπεν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ τὰ κτήνη πρὸς σὲ τὸν κύριον καὶ οὐχ ὑπολείπεται ἡμῖν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τὸ ἴδιον σῶμα καὶ ἡ γῆ ἡμῶν

19 ἵνα οὖν μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν ἐναντίον σου καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐρημωθῇ κτῆσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὴν γῆν ἡμῶν ἀντὶ ἄρτων καὶ ἐσόμεθα ἡμεῖς καὶ ἡ γῆ ἡμῶν παῖδες Φαραω δὸς σπέρμα ἵνα σπείρωμεν καὶ ζῶμεν καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν καὶ ἡ γῆ οὐκ ἐρημωθήσεται

20 καὶ ἐκτήσατο Ιωσηφ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν τῶν Αἰγυπτίων τῷ Φαραω ἀπέδοντο γὰρ οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν τῷ Φαραω ἐπεκράτησεν γὰρ αὐτῶν ὁ λιμός καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ γῆ Φαραω

21 καὶ τὸν λαὸν κατεδουλώσατο αὐτῷ εἰς παῖδας ἀπ᾽ ἄκρων ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου ἕως τῶν ἄκρων

22 χωρὶς τῆς γῆς τῶν ἱερέων μόνον οὐκ ἐκτήσατο ταύτην Ιωσηφ ἐν δόσει γὰρ ἔδωκεν δόμα τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν Φαραω καὶ ἤσθιον τὴν δόσιν ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Φαραω διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἀπέδοντο τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν

23 εἶπεν δὲ Ιωσηφ πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις ἰδοὺ κέκτημαι ὑμᾶς καὶ τὴν γῆν ὑμῶν σήμερον τῷ Φαραω λάβετε ἑαυτοῖς σπέρμα καὶ σπείρατε τὴν γῆν

24 καὶ ἔσται τὰ γενήματα αὐτῆς δώσετε τὸ πέμπτον μέρος τῷ Φαραω τὰ δὲ τέσσαρα μέρη ἔσται ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς εἰς σπέρμα τῇ γῇ καὶ εἰς βρῶσιν ὑμῖν καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις ὑμῶν

25 καὶ εἶπαν σέσωκας ἡμᾶς εὕρομεν χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ ἐσόμεθα παῖδες Φαραω

26 καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοῖς Ιωσηφ εἰς πρόσταγμα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ἐπὶ γῆν Αἰγύπτου τῷ Φαραω ἀποπεμπτοῦν χωρὶς τῆς γῆς τῶν ἱερέων μόνον οὐκ ἦν τῷ Φαραω

27 κατῴκησεν δὲ Ισραηλ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς Γεσεμ καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ ηὐξήθησαν καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν σφόδρα

28 ἐπέζησεν δὲ Ιακωβ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ δέκα ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐγένοντο δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι Ιακωβ ἐνιαυτῶν τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα ἑπτὰ ἔτη

29 ἤγγισαν δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι Ισραηλ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ Ιωσηφ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἰ εὕρηκα χάριν ἐναντίον σου ὑπόθες τὴν χεῖρά σου ὑπὸ τὸν μηρόν μου καὶ ποιήσεις ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ ἀλήθειαν τοῦ μή με θάψαι ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ

30 ἀλλὰ κοιμηθήσομαι μετὰ τῶν πατέρων μου καὶ ἀρεῖς με ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ θάψεις με ἐν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτῶν ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ἐγὼ ποιήσω κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου

31 εἶπεν δέ ὄμοσόν μοι καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ καὶ προσεκύνησεν Ισραηλ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς ῥάβδου αὐτοῦ

1 Ingressus ergo Joseph nuntiavit Pharaoni, dicens: Pater meus et fratres, oves eorum et armenta, et cuncta quæ possident, venerunt de terra Chanaan: et ecce consistunt in terra Gessen.

2 Extremos quoque fratrum suorum quinque viros constituit coram rege:

3 quos ille interrogavit: Quid habetis operis? Responderunt: Pastores ovium sumus servi tui, et nos et patres nostri.

4 Ad peregrinandum in terra tua venimus: quoniam non est herba gregibus servorum tuorum, ingravescente fame in terra Chanaan: petimusque ut esse nos jubeas servos tuos in terra Gessen.

5 Dixit itaque rex ad Joseph: Pater tuus et fratres tui venerunt ad te.

6 Terra Ægypti in conspectu tuo est: in optimo loco fac eos habitare, et trade eis terram Gessen. Quod si nosti in eis esse viros industrios, constitue illos magistros pecorum meorum.

7 Post hæc introduxit Joseph patrem suum ad regem, et statuit eum coram eo: qui benedicens illi,

8 et interrogatus ab eo: Quot sunt dies annorum vitæ tuæ?

9 respondit: Dies peregrinationis meæ centum triginta annorum sunt, parvi et mali, et non pervenerunt usque ad dies patrum meorum quibus peregrinati sunt.

10 Et benedicto rege, egressus est foras.

11 Joseph vero patri et fratribus suis dedit possessionem in Ægypto in optimo terræ loco, Ramesses, ut præceperat Pharao.

12 Et alebat eos, omnemque domum patris sui, præbens cibaria singulis.

13 In toto enim orbe panis deerat, et oppresserat fames terram, maxime Ægypti et Chanaan.

14 E quibus omnem pecuniam congregavit pro venditione frumenti, et intulit eam in ærarium regis.

15 Cumque defecisset emptoribus pretium, venit cuncta Ægyptus ad Joseph, dicens: Da nobis panes: quare morimur coram te, deficiente pecunia?

16 Quibus ille respondit: Adducite pecora vestra, et dabo vobis pro eis cibos, si pretium non habetis.

17 Quæ cum adduxissent, dedit eis alimenta pro equis, et ovibus, et bobus, et asinis: sustentavitque eos illo anno pro commutatione pecorum.

18 Venerunt quoque anno secundo, et dixerunt ei: Non celabimus dominum nostrum quod deficiente pecunia, pecora simul defecerunt: nec clam te est, quod absque corporibus et terra nihil habeamus.

19 Cur ergo moriemur te vidente? et nos et terra nostra tui erimus: eme nos in servitutem regiam, et præbe semina, ne pereunte cultore redigatur terra in solitudinem.

20 Emit igitur Joseph omnem terram Ægypti, vendentibus singulis possessiones suas præ magnitudine famis. Subjecitque eam Pharaoni,

21 et cunctos populos ejus a novissimis terminis Ægypti usque ad extremos fines ejus,

22 præter terram sacerdotum, quæ a rege tradita fuerat eis: quibus et statuta cibaria ex horreis publicis præbebantur, et idcirco non sunt compulsi vendere possessiones suas.

23 Dixit ergo Joseph ad populos: En ut cernitis, et vos et terram vestram Pharao possidet: accipite semina, et serite agros,

24 ut fruges habere possitis. Quintam partem regi dabitis: quatuor reliquas permitto vobis in sementem, et in cibum familiis et liberis vestris.

25 Qui responderunt: Salus nostra in manu tua est: respiciat nos tantum dominus noster, et læti serviemus regi.

26 Ex eo tempore usque in præsentem diem, in universa terra Ægypti regibus quinta pars solvitur, et factum est quasi in legem, absque terra sacerdotali, quæ libera ab hac conditione fuit.

27 Habitavit ergo Israël in Ægypto, id est, in terra Gessen, et possedit eam: auctusque est, et multiplicatus nimis.

28 Et vixit in ea decem et septem annis: factique sunt omnes dies vitæ illius, centum quadraginta septem annorum.

29 Cumque appropinquare cerneret diem mortis suæ, vocavit filium suum Joseph, et dixit ad eum: Si inveni gratiam in conspectu tuo, pone manum tuam sub femore meo: et facies mihi misericordiam et veritatem, ut non sepelias me in Ægypto:

30 sed dormiam cum patribus meis, et auferas me de terra hac, condasque in sepulchro majorum meorum. Cui respondit Joseph: Ego faciam quod jussisti.

31 Et ille: Jura ergo, inquit, mihi. Quo jurante, adoravit Israël Deum, conversus ad lectuli caput.
